         Exceedingly well said!
         Thank you for the background -- and for the research.

============================================================
	"[T]here is nothing more difficult to take in 
hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain 
in its success, than to take the lead in the 
introduction of a new order of things. Because 
the innovator has for enemies all those who have 
done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm 
defenders in those who may do well under the new. 
This coolness arises partly from fear of the 
opponents, who have the laws on their side, and 
partly from the incredulity of men, who do not 
readily believe in new things until they have had a long experience of them."
	Nicolò Machiavelli, THE PRINCE, c. 1505
